I’m liking Elon Musk more and more each day. Hard working , smart, a doer not a talker, unlike politicians.[/quote]

yeah well try growing up with a name like X AE A-12

The dumbest damn thing I’ve heard of, and I’m in favor of unique names.

The problem is this kid will forever be re-explaining to every clerk every time he fills out a form that yes, that is actually his name and no he didn’t misread the form. It will get very, very old very quickly. Some databases may not even be able to take some of those characters in the name field. That will lead to mismatches in records being flagged as errors and he’ll have to explain to a thousand companies and agencies what happened. I would not be surprised to see him legally change his name when he’s able.

Hell, I have enough trouble with my name and it just contains letters in the alphabet. I grew so tired of issues and re-explaining that I’ve come up with a simpler name that my friends use.

So Elon’s kid can go by X, but that doesn’t help him much with documents asking for a legal name.
